Albatron jumps the gun on AM2 board

The firm's KM51PV-AM2 is based on a rather old Geforce 6150 chipset or, should we say, C51 chipset. This chipset was originally designed and introduced in the winter of 2005 to support Athlon and Sempr0n CPUs and to offer nice integrated graphics.

These old chipsets can support the new AM2 CPUs and will work with new old DDR 2 memory.

Remember the memory controller is inside of the CPU and has nothing to do with the Northbridge of the chipset. The board features a few nice things such as built-in VGA out, DVI, TV-out and HDTV interfaces. It also features four SATA II ports and RAID support. This board is meant for multimedia PCs heading right for the middle of your living room.

The board should be ready soon but we don't yet know the price. µ
